The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has heaped praise on the Mighty Warriors, despite their heartbreaking loss to Angola in the penalty shootout.

ZIFA President Nqobile Magwizi expressed admiration for the team’s performance, saying, “They were very unfortunate that they lost on penalties, but they gave a good account of themselves.”

The Mighty Warriors had staged a remarkable comeback, winning 2-1 in the return leg against Angola in Pretoria. However, the team’s earlier 2-1 loss in Luanda meant that the aggregate score was tied at 3-3, forcing a penalty shootout.

Unfortunately, the Mighty Warriors lost the shootout 5-4, bringing an end to their campaign. Despite the disappointment, ZIFA’s praise acknowledges the team’s resilience and determination.
